Well now, it's been a while since we've chatted like this and I feel the need to alert those of you with the time and the facility that it's Birthday Time! As you can see, the "2 weeks before" celebration period begins today. Also, as you can see, following the red letter day we have the "2 weeks after" celebration period to afford you full calendar jet setters plenty of time to make arrangements. So, each of you please pick a place, date and time and let's P-A-R-T-Y!

Thursday Challenge: High or Low -

"... Oh sleep! Come sleep, the certain knot of sleep, the baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe, the poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release, the indifferent judge between the high and low ..."- Sir Philip Sidney

About Me

In its short-sightedness, blogger has turned its back on those of us stuck with old operating systems and I'm forced to find a new blog host. You will now find MickMathersARTblog at Blog.com - use the direct link found in the masthead and remember to update your bookmarks.
This place will continue as another archive for a large body of my work. As many of you know, my primary medium and working method is digital collage composed of manipulated photographs often combined with digital drawing & generative images.
Netlabels, bands and musicians can view samples of my CD Cover Art at Mick Mather Illustration located on Tumblr.
In another life I was an Arts & Culture consultant specializing in revitalization planning through creative public art projects and programs with Economic & Community Development Departments of towns, villages and cities. In these hard financial times this work is more important than ever and I still accept consultancy inquiries. You can contact me by email at: mickmather@yahoo.com
